Default Moving Large Appliances

If you need to move a refrigerator, washing machine, piano or other
large item across a smooth floor, pour a little dishwashing liquid on
the floor first. The large appliance will slide smoothly, then you can
simply mop up the soap. - from www.odd-info.com

Tip it up and place a piece of wax paper under the casters works well,
too, and is less messy perhaps.

A piece of polyethylene film (medium or heavy guage) does pretty well,
too.
